FAQ
What is a pool mosaic?
Pool mosaics are decorative designs created from small porcelain or glass tiles arranged to form patterns, images, or artwork in pools and spas. Available in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, they add a personalized, artistic touch to any swimming environment.
When should pool mosaics be installed?
They are typically installed during pool construction or resurfacing, before the final plaster layer. While post-construction installation is possible, mosaics may sit slightly above the plaster rather than flush with the surface.
Screen-printed vs. handmade mosaics?
Both types are pool-rated, frost-proof, and come with a lifetime warranty. Screen-printed mosaics deliver precise, high-resolution designs, while handmade mosaics offer a unique, artisan-crafted look. Choose based on your desired aesthetic.
Do pool mosaics require grout?
Yes, grout secures the tiles in place. Use premium options like Starlike EVO or plaster-based grout. Selecting a complementary color ensures a seamless finish.
Best surface for installation?
Mosaics should be set on gunite or shotcrete shells before plastering. High-performance mortar allows tiles to rise slightly for a smooth plaster finish. They are not recommended for stainless steel or fiberglass pools.
How do I clean and maintain pool mosaics?
Gently scrub and vacuum regularly to remove debris. Our U.S.-made mosaics include a lifetime warranty against cracking, fading, or staining.
Why choose Made in the USA mosaics?
Made in the USA ensures exceptional craftsmanship, strict quality control, faster shipping, and reliable support, delivering long-lasting performance even in harsh pool environments.
Benefits of mesh-mounted mosaics?
Mesh backing simplifies installation, keeps tiles evenly spaced, ensures consistent grout lines, and improves adhesion, even on curved or irregular surfaces.

Benefits of screen-printed mosaics?
Screen-printed mosaics feature photo-realistic designs on kiln-fired porcelain, are waterjet-cut, mesh-mounted, and vacuum-sealed. Produced in Florida, they combine visual impact with lasting strength.
Frost-proof mosaics in cold weather?
Made from non-porous porcelain or glass, frost-proof mosaics resist freeze damage and remain UV- and chemical-resistant. Popular designs include dolphins, turtles, mermaids, and medallions.
Is a shadow effect worth it?
Yes, it creates a 3D illusion, making the mosaic appear to float above the pool floor. This is especially effective with screen-printed mosaics for realistic visuals.
Benefits of hand-painted mosaics?
Each hand-painted mosaic is a unique work of art, crafted by skilled artisans in Florida. They provide a personalized, elegant finish and are frost-proof with a lifetime guarantee.
